part of the reason Congress is pursuing this is to show that they still have clout when called for an investigation, its pure grandstanding by a bunch of lawyers, its an election year, Clemens is a high profile target of opportunity...it is a waste of taxpayer money

I'd say they are pursuing it because of the grandstanding and "in your face" attitude Clemens brought to congress when they did their initial investigation and inquiry. He's getting what he deserves. If he used the steroids, then lied about it, then lied about the lies, he's toast. Let him eat crow in front of the world. And no, he isn't going to do any time for it.

Friend of mine who is a Houston police officer had to run him out of a bar for disorderly conduct. In all fairness, he was just giving a pesky fan what he deserved, but nontheless, crossed a line and the police were called. My buddy (6-2 and bench pressed almost 500#) was very concerned about what might ensue if he offered resistance. To his pleasant surprise, the Rocket basically offered an apology, and asked what the officer would like him to do, and did it with no lip. Said he was a class act that night.
